“…When the pressure was gradually decreased by 5psi, the mileage of the motorcycle was observed to be in decreasing as shown in Table 2. Decrease in pressure from 30psi to 25psi resulted to a drop of 6.11%, 5.32% and 2.80% in highways, earthen roads and graveled roads respectively as the low tire pressure cause increase in rolling resistance and fuel consumption [3]. The drop after 25psi showed a liner change in mileage of around 1% only.…”

“…It is a key factor for determining better mileage as there is a correlation between rolling resistance and fuel consumption [1], [2]. The higher the rolling resistance is, the more energy is required from the engine to move the vehicle forward and hence more fuel is burnt [3]- [5]. Since it is a matter of consent for saving fuel and uplifting mileage of vehicles, immense contributions have been made regarding the manufacturing of tires as well as structuring the surface texture of roads to minimize rolling resistance [6]- [8].…”

The value of air pressure in the tire not only supports the entire weight of the vehicle, it also plays a crucial role in improving the vehicle’s performance, reducing friction, providing comfort, boosting economy and enhancing safety. This study deals with the influence of tire inflation pressure on fuel consumption at various road conditions and speeds. The experimental test was performed riding a motorcycle of 180cc and using a mileage measuring kit to find the effect of tire pressure on three different road surfaces i.e., highway, earthen and graveled. The standard tire pressure for both front and rear tires recommended by the manufacturing company was also evaluated to observe the change in mileage. The results showed that the highest mileage of 55.97 km/L was obtained on the highway among the defined three road conditions and a linear drop of 5psi in tire pressure led to loss of mileage up to 6.11% in highway, 5.35% in earthen and 2.80% in graveled road. Also, the variation in speed resulted to compensation of mileage by nearly 39.9% maximum. These results highlight the importance of keeping the correct value of tire inflation pressure in relation to fuel consumption.

“…This causes energy to dissipate with friction with the ground. 10 When the tire slips, the tire receives not only the rolling friction but also the sliding friction from the ground due to the speed difference. At this time, the deformation of the tire becomes more severe.…”

Longitudinal slip tests of the 215/55 R17 tire were carried out using a six-component tire bench test instrument. By comparing with Abaqus simulation data, the longitudinal forces and slip ratios of the tire with a constant tire pressure under different speeds and vertical loads were analyzed. A tire finite element model was established, and the energy loss of the tire under the action of ground friction was examined using the model. It was predicted that the heat loss of the tire was mainly caused partially by the sliding of the tire against the ground and partially by rolling friction. The friction force of the tire is concentrated at the shoulder position. The results showed that the longitudinal force increased with the increase in the vertical load at the same slip ratio, but the velocity had little effect on the longitudinal force. In the braking slip stage, the heat loss due to friction was greater than that in the driving slip stage. The energy loss due to friction increased with the increase in the velocity and vertical load. In the whole sliding process, the energy release due to frictional work was the largest at 80 km/h and 6396 N.

“…The condition of filters [14], suspension [15], wheel alignment [16], and lubricants used [17] will have varying degree of effects on fuel consumption. The type, size, and pressure of tires will affect rolling resistance, thus significantly impacting fuel consumption [18]. Also, the type of fuel used will impact consumption, due to differences related to the seasonality of the fuel and the use of biocomponents.…”

Reducing fuel consumption to decrease CO2 emissions has become a key development factor in the automotive industry. An effective way to decrease fuel consumption is to reduce the influence of various sources of energy loss. One way to increase engine efficiency is to use low-viscosity engine oils to reduce friction losses in the engine’s tribological systems. The aim of the article was to analyze the relationship between the type of engine oil and fuel consumption in a group of 12 passenger cars. This was a homogenous group of identical cars, equipped with the same engine, operated under very similar conditions. Three groups of engine oils (Revline, Total, Orlen) were tested in vehicles and stressed with comparable workloads. The experiment was conducted over two years (two stages of research). The collected results were presented using graphs and compared using statistical tests, split into two stages of research, with four seasonal temperature groups. The study provides a detailed description of fuel consumption differences taking into account variations in ambient temperature. The analyses were focused on finding answers to two research questions: does the type of engine oil affect the variation in combustion levels, and what is the variability of fuel consumption in different seasons due to the ambient temperature variability? Briefly, in both stages of the study, vehicles using Revline oil attained the highest average fuel consumption throughout the study period. Vehicles using Total oil showed similar results to those using Revline oil, with the difference in fuel consumption not as noticeable during warmer months. Conversely, vehicles using Orlen oil demonstrated the lowest fuel consumption values during colder months, but higher levels during warmer months.
